On the 23rd, President Lee Jae-myung strongly criticized the death of a female firefighter who was accused of drinking and workplace bullying, calling it "the worst workplace abuse," and ordered a review of organizational culture across the public sector. He continued, "How much pain must the deceased have endured?" and said, "Her boyfriend and family must have suffered great wounds, and if even their demands for a truth had been ignored, how frustrating must she have felt?" President Lee said , "If you put yourself in another position, it's hard to understand how such a thing could happen," expressing his regret. He especially pointed out, "The problem is that some organizations do not recognize such behavior as a serious problem," and pointed out, "There is still a culture where subordinates think things like 'Let's have a drink together' or 'Let's spend some time together' are something subordinates can tolerate." He also emphasized, "In the past, this culture may have been accepted as a custom, but the fact that such incidents have happened recently is a very serious problem," emphasizing the need to improve the internal culture within the public service sector. He then called on each ministry and institution to "manage internal organizations and workplaces..." Please review the culture as a whole," and urged, "Please take special care to ensure that such tragedies never happen again."
